What Parents Need to Know
About NASA Space Place
Parents need to know that the kid-friendly nature of this site (brought to you by NASA and its partners) gets kids interested in anything space related. Most of the projects -- such as making a star finder -- require kids to use household or craft supplies to build things offline. Although the site isn't the most slick, each project, animation, or game does come with a lot of good information about the subject at hand. Much of the site is also available in Spanish, and there are no ads to be found.
